I have a Hong Kong identity card, which is not permanent. Can I go to Macau from Hong Kong or Shenzhen?

Permanent residents can communicate with each other with their ID cards, but they must leave on 14 days. Non-permanent residence requires a passport to enter the other area. With the approval of the State Council, the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ will collect or verify the fingerprints of the applicants who apply for the electronic pass to and from Hong Kong and Macao for the first time. After retaining fingerprints, qualified holders can use the self-service inspection channels at the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao ports when they pass customs.

In order to ensure the security of the fingerprint information of the holder, the competent authorities in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao have established strict management systems and taken various technical protection measures. The fingerprint template information of the holder stored in the chip cannot be restored to the original fingerprint image.
